Exactly, that's his pair from the contest. The contest brought up many great pairs

this has to be ipkus' pair

^love those. when i saw this thread i immediately thought of ipkus' pair. so awesome! 811 were my first serious japanese denims and still haven't come across a more interesting fabric.

[tatmantall]

Interest has been peaked. Those are very nice!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

For the taller guys, BiG has the 811 with a 39" raw inseam and the 888 (basically the 811 cut with added stuff) comes with an 40" inseam raw

I saw that when I was over in the Sammie forum yeaterday and you all were talking about starting this thread. Jumped over on BiG and saw all those beautiful long inseams 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

that post was directed exactly at you

[tatmantall]

i thought it might have been i know I am probably the most vocal person around the forum constantly screaming for denim equal rights for the vertically enhanced. Thanks b_F!

What to do if you have the cut-off from the hemjob and some spare minutes?

resulting in some spare denim and original Eternal thread for repairs

I wore a pair of 874 on/off for a couple of years and have since worn a pair of Flat Head F350s for a similar period. Different cuts but in my humble opinion, selvage colour aside, the denim seems eerily similar.

I never tire of seeing Ipkus' Eternal 811. For me, the grail pair of that model.

That's brilliant. Adding that to my to do list with my MBB scrap.

[hajduk]

[Max Power]

Sufu Crosspost - Eternal 888 many washes some months (5-6?)

[tatmantall]

Excellent. Love the evo on the patch as well… Quite remarkable

the pics ain´t showing anymore Flo! :-\

[Snowy]

It does show he's popular tho, lol

[tatmantall]

I have quite a bit of credit at BiG and noticed they have a size 29 in the anniversay 888… sorry for the sizing question but wanted to know how much to expect the waist to stretch. I wear a 29 in samurai s5000vx 17 oz. and generally take a 30 in my IH's... The thigh looks like it will be perfect on a 29 post soak but just wanted to make sure the waist had some stretch in it. thanks in advance.

[Max Power]

I went with my usual 34 and do not advice to size down. They shrink a fair amount over time and don't stretch beyond the raw state, maybe even stay a tad below.

[BrownIcon]

that'd been mosdef a contender on the Eternal contest, Max.
